Often times we are asked by service providers, "what is the difference between public and private clouds from an architecture perspective?" So we thought we would use this as an opportunity to address this question.
Public and private clouds are similar; both utilize the same CPU, memory, and storage resources to provide a fault tolerant platform for deploying virtual machines. The underlying orchestration engines, such as CloudStack or OpenStack, pay no mind to architectural design. After all, the main benefit of cloud architecture is the fact that regardless of which domain the cloud will be deployed in, the underlying hardware requirements are the same and span the gamut of available hardware for each individual component of the cloud infrastructure.
That being said, cloud offers service providers the flexibility to deploy their cloud environment on anything from spare commodity servers with do-it-yourself storage, to densely packed blade servers and multi-million dollar storage appliances. At the end of the day the cloud orchestration engine and applications really do not care, each of its individual components can be manipulated as needed to meet the demand of its end user.
However there are a number of key differences between public and private clouds when we aren't talking about infrastructure. These differences are dictated mainly by the various requirements of the end-user and each customer will value them differently. Below is a brief overview of just a few of these differences including security compliance, networking, metering and billing.
Security compliance and implications are major factors that decide which domain a cloud is deployed in. When particular applications/services require independent infrastructure due to compliance regulations and security implications, public cloud just does not fit the bill. HIPAA and PCI compliance cannot be achieved for an application/service running in a public cloud. Shared infrastructure is the foundation of public cloud and the pitfall for security compliance. When Security issues arise the most common remedy is to have dedicated hardware in which to deploy a private cloud tailored for the application's requirements. This infrastructure can be managed independently or alongside existing cloud infrastructure.
Network topology will vary from cloud to cloud regardless of its public or private reference architecture. Most private clouds are segregated from the outside world in order to create isolation. Since applications deployed into a private cloud are meant to be private, ingress network traffic would, under normal circumstances be locked down. This is in contrast to public clouds, where virtual machines are meant to be readily accessible through a self-service portal over the Internet.
Metering & Billing
Metering and usage billing is an imperative component of any cloud environment; the only difference is who is utilizing the resources. In a public cloud environment end users consume resources on demand, which are metered and billed through a pay-as-you-go model. Network, disk, memory and CPU resources are monitored to allow for proper billing. Private cloud environments are typically used by a single organization and employees consume resources. The built in metering functionality allows the IT department to understand resource allocation and chargeback departments for consumption if necessary.
The overall design of both private and public cloud environments remains consistent except for the way resources are accessed. The underlying architecture at the core serves the same purpose whether it is private or public: allowing users to consume resources on demand. As a service provider it is important to understand the other components that differentiate the two, but all in all the architecture is the same.

Adam A Edwards
Senior Personal Injury Litigation Attorney
About Adam A Edwards
In 2004, Adam decided to return home to Knoxville and joined the firm of Dunn, McDonald, Coleman and Reynolds. While at the firm, the relationship was formed with attorney Greg Coleman that eventually led to his representation of individuals with serious personal injuries at Greg Coleman Law. His trial experience and diverse background of representing clients ranging from fortune 50 companies to the individual car accident victim have served him well in fighting for the rights of injury victims. His primary practice areas include: automobile, trucking and motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice and nursing home neglect claims, products liability/dangerous products claims, as well as workers' compensation and wrongful death claims. Adam's career highlights include several substantial settlements and verdicts in auto accident, worker's compensation and medical malpractice cases. In 2008, he resolved a medical malpractice claim for a seriously injured client who had been turned down by another local law firm. Adam worked to secure a settlement for this injury victim in the seven figure range. As a result, he gained membership in the MILLION DOLLAR ADVOCATES FORUM, an honor reserved for those trial lawyers who have secured a settlement or verdict in excess of one million dollars; less than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members.Practice Areas

I'm having a hard time deciding on what size I should use for my photos on my website. If you have a minute would you take a peek and give me some feedback?
It's www.realcakecompany.com If you look under Wedding Cake Gallery 1 you'll see that I have two different sizes for my photographs on that page. Do you like the photos smaller or larger?
It sort of depends upon what size zoom level you use on your computer. As an oldy my computer is set to 125% but most people use 100%.
I want each image to fill the page, how do they appear on your screen?
thanks in advance.........

CASPER, Wyo. — A Casper mother who allegedly exaggerated her son's medical condition to collect thousands of dollars from the community pleaded not guilty to felony theft in court Tuesday morning.
Krishelle Layton appeared in Natrona County District Court after bailing out of jail on $2,000 bond. She is being represented by public defender Tracy Hucke.
Layton's son, Dorian Layton, 6, does have a tumor on his brain — "a low-grade glioma," according to a court affidavit in the case.
But Dorian is not as sick as his mother claimed, according to the document, and she misled people into thinking he was on "deaths [sic] door" in order to defraud the community earlier this year of about $7,000.
Layton was arrested May 13 by the Department of Criminal Investigation after an investigation that spanned to February. Layton was charged with obtaining property by false pretenses on May 14.
Layton attributed the charges to misunderstandings in a later interview with the Casper Star-Tribune.
It is unclear in the affidavit what caused DCI to look into the family, but the affidavit states the investigation began after receiving a tip from the Casper Police Department about potential fraud.
The affidavit also states that the Laytons stayed with former police Chief Chris Walsh in February, and that the family had packed and left "in the middle of the night" after Walsh questioned "certain things Krishelle Layton was doing" in her care of Dorian. That alleged overnight flight was about Feb. 14, and the investigation opened Feb. 20.
In terms of alleged fraud, the DCI claims that Layton misled people and organizations, including the Casper Star-Tribune, about Dorian's condition.
In December, when the Star-Tribune first covered an event featuring Dorian, Layton told the paper that Dorian had begun experiencing long-term memory loss along with other apparent symptoms of worsening brain cancer.
According to the affidavit, the doctor who treated Dorian's tumor in Texas said the tumor was not growing and that other than "monitoring," Dorian could have a normal childhood. He would need annual scans to ensure the tumor was not growing, the affidavit states.
The doctor also said he did not advise Layton to make death preparations for Dorian.
Layton told the Star-Tribune on June 17 that she was only acting on what doctors were telling her.
The felony fraud charge stems from the benefits the family received by putting on the alleged facade that Dorian was very near death.
Most notably, DCI claims the family told a manager at the Black and Gold Grille in Casper that he would likely not survive until his April birthday, and so the restaurant held an early birthday party for Dorian in February. Between donations collected and the expenses of the party, DCI claims that Layton defrauded more than $2,500 from the bar and those who donated.
The report also cites an online donation website as evidence of the fraud, claiming the less than $2,000 collected on that site was obtained under false pretenses.
Dorian and his brother Julien, who was 9 at the time of his mother's arrest, have been in the custody of Layton's sister since February, according to the affidavit. In that time, the report states, "none of the various medical symptoms that (Layton) complained about with (her son) have been observed to be ongoing."
Layton is only allowed to have contact with Dorian and Julien through the Department of Family Services, Judge Michael Patchen said in court Tuesday. Layton does have custody of her 2-year-old daughter.
If convicted of felony fraud, Layton could spend up to 10 years in prison.

"These were very tasty. I used lowfat vanilla yoghurt and frozen berries. Mine did stick to the paper liners a bit, possibly due to the berries? Next time i will just grease the muffin tray and cook them that way. Thanx for another great recipe"
"Love It! I did not measure out zucchini, I just grated up two medium ones, probably closer to 3 cups. I subbed the bacon for carrot, omitted the cheese and added salt, fresh ground pepper. I also grated the onion, baked at 175C. I also used self raising flour so I left out the baking powder."

"Alright, thats enough of this." Doctor Namba said with a sigh. Suddenly a massive relaxation feeling went through Vice's body, causing him to feel like he needed to sleep suddenly, calming his body and his blood pressure so it does not cause any damage to his body. "Mmm, seems his encounter did a bit of a number on him." He looks towards Sam, seeing how she was holding up to all this.
Sam tried her best to calm Vice down before Namba's relaxation spell. She couldn't tell if what was going on was truly inside Vice's mind, or if he was just seeing something she couldn't. "Yes it does," Sam commented, "Then again, he was struck by a voidling. Who knows what could have caused that. From what I've heard, that place can bring the most courageous man to the brink of insanity."
"The void itself? Maybe. Generally void creatures won't cause too much trauma apart from the physical or the sight of how horrible it is. Without knowing his full experience though, there is not much we can really determine without something complex like a mind dive. Might have to think about getting Doctor Liana to check him out depending on what happens. All we can do for now is monitor his progress and keep him sedated for now." He said, using his life magic to check over his body again to check for any other injuries. Once he was satisfied he picked up the clip board at the end of his bed, looking back over to Sam. "So, have you been taught how to read one of these yet?" He asked, showing it to Sam.
Doctor Namba let out a bit of a sigh. It wasn't really his job to teach new interns, but... Well, he did feel a bit of empathy to her. He was an intern once himself. Though that was a long time ago. "Well then I guess no time like the present." He said, beginning to go over the charts and what things meant on them and what to do with them.
"Its.........gone...still...here...gone....but...s till he..." Vices neck muscle relaxes and his head lays against the pillow. "Still here....still watching me.....still...still..." he says, drifting into unconsciousness.

Cortez writes "Over-budget, incomplete and hostage to political fortunes, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum might have been over-charged: story here.
"In addition to discovering the state's interest in recouping some of the project's cost, the Chicago Tribune found that BRC spent about $356,000 of its proceeds to hire law and lobbying firms to negotiate with the state on its behalf.
Using government funds to hire firms to lobby for more government funds is not common, Arnold said, but it's not unheard of with large-scale projects, either."

New horizons in Kazakhstan
The average age in the city is 34, and young women from all over Kazakhstan flock here looking for husbands because of the army of single men working in its numerous ministries. Construction continues apace, and there are so many new cultural centres, museums and stadia – football, bicycle and ice-skating – popping up, that even the official guides can sometimes become confused: 'I'm sorry – this is the National Museum and you wanted to see the President's Museum. Perhaps you would also like to see the Palace of Independence?'
One of the more immutable disadvantages of Astana is that it is a long way from anywhere. It's like living on a remote island – there is a reason the steppe is referred to as a sea of grass. In a country the size of Western Europe, distances are enormous. People in the city resign themselves to three-hour drives to reach the closest resort areas.
Some 106 miles to the southeast is a network of salt lakes that are home in spring and summer to vast flocks of pink flamingos. Korgalzhyn State Nature Reserve, covering 915 square miles, is a bird-watcher's dream and a candidate as a Unesco World Heritage Site. But the most popular weekend location for Astana residents wishing to escape their city is Burabay National Park, an area of lakes, hills and forest billed as 'the pearl of Kazakhstan' or even 'Kazakhstan's Switzerland'. Only steppe dwellers would consider its low granite hills to be Alpine; despite its undoubted beauty, it more resembles Finland's lakes and forests.
Mac and I set off on a Saturday morning for an overnight stay. As we leave the city limits, we drive through a wide girdle of forest, planted as a green belt designed to be both a lung and a windbreak. Stunted by wind, frozen earth and long winters, the forest has grown considerably slower than Astana itself. Beyond the green belt there is only the empty steppe.
'Up here on the steppe you see natural phenomena you don't see anywhere else,' says Mac. 'I've seen a rainbow at a temperature of -35°C, which was absolutely beautiful. And it's big sky country, too – so you can see black clouds in one part of the sky and brilliant sunshine in another.'
We buy beer and delicious smoked fish in a shop on the way to the park, then drive to a comfortable hotel that retains elements of a Soviet sanatorium – a course of leeches is on offer. It's the end of the season and almost no-one is around the lakes or forests, except for old ladies searching for mushrooms. Coloured ribbons have been tied in profusion to trees in certain 'sacred' groves – shamanistic rather than religious – by wedding parties.
There are a number of lakes in the national park, but Burabay is the most beautiful. Surrounded by birch forest, its waters lap a strip of sandy shore. There are various inlets where visitors can rent a rowing boat or hire an oarsman to take them to the mysterious rock known as Zhumbaktas stone. A legend surrounds it, and it is said to resemble a beautiful woman from one angle and an old hag from another. I can't see it myself. But then neither can I make out the elephant, warrior and shoe that other outcrops are said to resemble. Zhumbaktas stone is covered in graffiti, dating back to 1905. My favourite is from 1949 and signed: 'Nadia: Thank God for those husbands who send their wives alone for a vacation.'

Our students are so talented!Come check out the high school Art Show and Saleat the Sommer House Arts Gallery (next to Sjolinds Chocolate House in Mt. Horeb)The show runs every weekend, January 24 - February 21 and will be openfrom 11:00- 4:00 pm.Hope to see you there!
The four schools that are part of the state report card – the Primary Center, the Intermediate Center, the Middle School and the High School – were once again in the Exceeded Expectations category of the 2013-2014 School Report Cards which were recently released by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI).
This is the second year the DPI has also provided the District an overall rating as well. The Mount Horeb Area School District exceeded expectations with a score of 79.7, which represents an increase over last year's District rating of 78.8.
The success on the report cards is the outcome from many years of hard work and dedication on the part of all of our students and staff members. This great achievement is also a testament to the amazing parent and family support in our District.
Even though this is a great accomplishment for all, we are not content with complacency. We will use the report card data, as well as other information we collect, to continue to improve in all of our schools. The goal is to obtain the status of Significantly Exceeds Expectations at one or more schools or at the district level.
More information is available at the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction website at http://reportcards.dpi.wi.gov/ .
The Mount Horeb Area School District Alumni Endowment announces the 20/20 Challenge. An anonymous donor has offered a $20,000 matching donation for the first $20,000 contributed.
The alumni endowment provides funding for academic
enhancement activities for students in grades 6 – 12. Following is additional information Alumni Endowment Challenge

Some very colorful roses Sweetvenge, I would imagine your yard is very colorful when they are in bloom, such vibrant colors. Your striped roses are lovely, I thought I liked Rock 'N Roll and Purple Tiger best, but I love all of them. Devotion is a very pretty rose, I can see why you love it so much. They are all very nice. |
All great colored roses! Thanks for sharing... |
Love 'em, love 'em, love 'em!! My faves... the stripeys!! Ooooh now I know I gotta get GRAND OLD OPRY! Wow, that's beautiful! |

What do you think of Memphis Magic?? It's such a gorgeous flower. Wow! I got Velvet Fragrance last year as a bare root - didn't flower. This year it has buds. What do you think of this rose? I really like Shockwave!! Wow what a pow of color!! Your Rock & Roll is divine!!! I have this rose and ABSOLUTELY love it. The smell is fantastic. But on my blooms, the colors bleed into each more than yours. Yours have that nice clean delineation between the colors. Really gorgeous!!! |

Carol-I do like Velvet Fragrance, it definitely has a strong fragrance to it which you will probably enjoy. I remember one time last year when I opened my back door and was immediately noticed a nice fragrance coming from the garden when I followed the scent, it led me to Velvet Fragrance which is a good 10-15 feet away. Maybe I caught it at a good time with the wind coming my way, but it was a nice strong scent. As far as Memphis Music this is the first full year with it but I've always wanted one like this to add. I like these odd type of roses, either with the stripes or different colors to them. I was hoping for some more yellow stripes on these, but maybe with the next set of blooms. |

Really!! That's a pretty strong fragrance. I won't expect that - but it's wonderful to know it has a great fragrance. Yeah, that looks like the type of flower that will vary with temperature. So the stripes will probably get more intense. What a velvety looking rose. |

SfN 2010 is over, hangovers are subsiding, and - like the rain clouds here in San Diego - post-meeting illness is rolling in.
During the conference, however, the weather was absolutely beautiful! Which made it very easy to go out. Which made it very easy to get distracted. But being from San Diego, I was unfazed by the 70 degree weather in November, and had a pretty productive SfN (day 4 notwithstanding). Some thoughts:

When I started graduate school a few years back, the plan – like most of my peers – was to pursue a career in academia. But grad school has a way of wringing the enthusiasm out of many who tread the tortuous path. Luckily (and I do think it is just that for most), my excitement and wonder is still going strong over four years in. But there are aspects of the academic job description that I'm having trouble accepting. Mainly, the ridiculous hours and incessant grant writing.

I guess I'm at the stage where I'm debating the trajectory of my future. And not being particularly interested in any of the science talks offered today, I decided to shun science for the Why Academia? workshop (my first workshop at any SfN). Perhaps it should have been titled "How Academia?" because the majority of the presenters focused on how to succeed at the post-doc and young investigator levels. The consensus: put in work, learn from your inevitable rejections, be persistent (research is a marathon, not a sprint), and drink beer. Seriously, almost every presenter mentioned the importance of decompressing with a few beers. By that metric, I think many of us are well on our way to tenure. Some additional tips I found helpful:
The first speaker (sorry, I never caught his name) also had a pretty good quote when speaking about an investigator's research progression that my memory only allows me to paraphrase: If what you did last year still looks good, then you haven't done anything good since. Anyway, that's all I really got to today, the morning session being a casualty of last night's party. But I'm here until the bitter end, so let's see how this thing wraps up…

UCSD party was rockin. The outdoor roof venue away from all the club music was much appreciated. The $12 mixed drinks, not so much. I also learned that texting in the restroom while drunk is not a good combination – or at least it wasn't for the a-hole next to me who couldn't seem to hit the urinal to save his life. Despite that little mishap, it was great to see everyone out there having a good time.

8am comes a bit too early for this west coast grad student. I think I liked it better yesterday when the conference started around noon. But the sacrificed hours of sleep were worth it as Andrew Jackson shared some rousing data this morning about "artificially" induced cortical plasticity by pairing endogenous presynaptic firing with post synaptic activation via a neural implant. One tid bit I found interesting is that the induced plasticity, given extensive pairings, can last for about one week, max. This obviously poses a problem if your goal is to enduringly remap impaired neural circuits. Then again, is this return to baseline due to disuse of the artificial pathway in lieu of the endogenous circuit - a scenario that probably doesn't hold when the endogenous circuit is damaged?
Is anyone else consistently mislead by some of the talk titles? I attended Silvia Arber's "Connecting Motor Circuits" talk expecting to hear about...

neuronal connectivity in the motor cortex. Instead, I heard all about spinal cord circuits. Yes, I probably would have figured this out had I actually read the abstract ahead of time, but this type of behavior comes at the price of even less sleep. Turned out ok, though, as she gave a good talk with a couple of intriguing findings. Notably, using a modified rabies virus that only labels monosynaptic partners, her group found that spinal interneurons innervating distinct functional groups of muscles (extensors vs flexors) are anatomically segregated, and this separation is dependent on proprioceptors during development(I think Ed Callaway will be talking more about the rabies virus technique tomorrow at…8:30am – Grrr). Didn't get to catch too many posters, but this one from McCartney and Sutton caught my eye, even though it's not really related to what I do. A somewhat simple story with very clean data. Nice. Miss A.J. McCartney, if you're reading this, you should upload your poster to this site, or send a link in the comments so others who missed it can have a look. In fact, anyone with a poster should upload it by either signing up here, or simply emailing it to me and I'll make sure it gets posted (email@example.com). UCSD neuro alum Andrew Hires gave what had to be the longest poster walk through I've ever witnessed. Arrived when he was 1/3 of the way through the figures. Thirty minutes later, when I left, there was still one figure to go. In his defense, it was not his poster – must have taken over last minute for the absent author. Plus, there was one gentleman in the audience who was quite keen on inquiries. Cool poster, though (a Svoboda lab poster, so of course). Also, did you know that following a lesion to the forelimb region of M1, neurons innervating spinal cord segments far, far away can invade the affected region of the spinal cord, potentially causing neurons that controlled hindlimb muscles to now control forelimb muscles? That's some pretty hefty remapping, but the anatomical tracing studies of Starkey et al suggest this is the case. Very interested to see if electrophysiology studies show any evidence of functional connectivity in this population. Some good stuff on deck for tomorrow, not the least of which is the UCSD Neuro party at Stingaree, 10pm. Good venue. Should be a blast.

Researchers who study the neural correlates of learning know that long-term potentiation (LTP) between groups of neurons that fire concurrently is tantamount to memory formation [1]. Recently, neuroscientists are starting to realize the extent of their old adage, "Neurons that fire together, wire together." A more complete maxim might roughly approximate as, "Neurons that fire together, wire together, and the more the better!" This idea continues to garner support from recent work by Lee, Ramineni, Hepler, et al.† (2010) in their PNAS article titled "RGS14 is a natural suppressor of both synaptic plasticity in CA2 neurons and hippocampal-based learning and memory" [2].

Understanding G-protein signaling is important for appreciating the role of RGS14 in learning and memory. G-proteins are heterotrimeric switches that are involved in regulating an array of cell-signaling pathways [3]. Downstream signaling pathways include: activation or inhibition of adenylyl cyclase, opening or closing of K+ channels, phospholipase C activation, and cGMP phosphodiesterase activation [4] (See original figure 1). Along with calcium and Ras/MAP kinases, G-protein signaling is one of the key regulators of LTP. On one had there are excitatory G-protein signals such as those from the Gs and Gq families of G-proteins that keep voltage-gated M-type K+ channels closed in neurons (n.b. Gs activates adenylyl cyclase and Gq activates phospholipase C) [5, 6]. On the other hand there are inhibitory G-protein signals downstream of the Gi and Go pathways, which include voltage-gated Ca2+ channel inhibition and activation of inwardly rectifying K+ channels [7, 8]. Although the effect of the neuron's electrochemical gradient by Gi and Go is the opposite of Gs and Gq G-proteins, Gi and Go do not directly regulate the function of Gs and Gq G-proteins. That is to say, they do not put the brakes on each other; they only impose opposite electrical properties onto the neuron. Thus, without brakes, both signaling pathways have the potential to spiral out of control. RGS Proteins (known Regulators of G-protein Signaling) modulate G-protein signaling so this doesn't happen. Typically RGS proteins do this by limiting G-Protein activation by acting as GTPase activating proteins (GAP). RGS14 is one such RGS protein that is uniquely positioned to decrease G-protein excitatory mechanisms and promote inhibitory mechanisms, making it an ideal for regulation of synaptic plasticity. RGS14 limits the lifetime of the Gα subunit, in this way it suppresses excitatory pathways more so than inhibitory pathways because Gi activity is regulated largely by the Gβγ G-protein subunit. Furthermore, RGS14 can actually act as a scaffold to assemble Gαi subunits. Knowing this, Lee et al., performed a series of experiments aimed at elucidating the role of RGS14 in hippocampal LTP, plasticity, and memory formation. Several forms of learning and memory have been extensively studied as LTP forming at the DG-CA3-CA1 hippocampal sub-region circuit. Oddly, a well defined fourth region, the CA2 sub-region of the hippocampus, has not been shown to be involved in this circuit. The neurons in the CA2 region don't seem to have LTP abilities. Lee et al., using monoclonal antibodies to select for RGS14 (through immunohistochemical staining) revealed that there were high densities of RGS14 found in CA2 pyramidal neurons. Next, they compared the CA2 LTP abilities of RGS14 knock-out mice to that of wild-type mice. Synaptic stimulation results in sustained LTP in CA1/CA3 neurons of wild-type rodents, however, not in the CA2 region as expected. Interestingly, the RGS14 knock-out mice showed synaptic plasticity in all three hippocampal CA regions! Next, Lee et al. investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms as to how the loss of RGS14 affords the CA2 region the opportunity to form LTP. Along with its GAP activity, RGS14 is known to bind several proteins such as Raf kinases, leading to the inhibition of growth factor-directed MAP kinase signaling. Therefore, they tested whether an inhibitor of ERK/MAP kinase would affect the newly endowed increased capacity for LTP in CA2 neurons caused by the loss of RGS14. The MEK inhibitor used in the study completely eliminated the LTP potential in CA2 neurons (It was also able to eliminate the LPT capacity in the CA1 region). This suggests that MEK/ERK pathways play a key role in regulation of LTP and RGS14 subserves this signaling pathway in the CA2 region of the hippocampus. Finally, the experimenters tested learning and memory performance in the RGS14-KO mice. They found that the loss of RGS14 actually improved the performance of these mice in tests of novel object recognition and spatial memory. Meanwhile it did not enhance the performance of any non-hippocampal-dependent tasks. This suggests that inhibitors of RGS14 could potentially serve as treatments for cognitive deficits associated with various forms of disease/disorders such as Alzheimer's or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, which have symptoms known to affect hippocampal learning and memory. One caveat to this notion of trying to increase LTP capacity however, is that unbridled synaptic potentiation is what leads to epileptic seizures. Thus, as another old adage of all scientists goes, "More research is needed."

Daryl J. Bem (2010). Feeling the Future: Experimental Evidence for Anomalous Retroactive Influences on Cognition and Affect. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, in press, DOI: 10.1037/a0021524
"ABSTRACT: The term psi denotes anomalous processes of information or energy transfer that are currently unexplained in terms of known physical or biological mechanisms. Two variants of psi are precognition (conscious cognitive awareness) and premonition (affective apprehension) of a future event that could not otherwise be anticipated through any known inferential process. Precognition and premonition are themselves special cases of a more general phenomenon: the anomalous retroactive influence of some future event on an individual's current responses, whether those responses are conscious or nonconscious, cognitive or affective. This article reports 9 experiments, involving more than 1,000 participants, that test for retroactive influence by "timereversing" well-established psychological effects so that the individual's responses are obtained before the putatively causal stimulus events occur. Data are presented for 4 time-reversed effects: precognitive approach to erotic stimuli and precognitive avoidance of negative stimuli; retroactive priming; retroactive habituation; and retroactive facilitation of recall... all but one of them yielded statistically significant results. Skepticism about psi, issues of replication, and theories of psi are also discussed."

One of the most prevalent assumptions we make as neuroscientists is that the brain communicates using a binary code. That is, either a neuron fires and action potential and passes along information (1), or it doesn't (0). Presumably, information is stored and conveyed by the pattern of neurons that are active at any particular time. For example, let's say we have 10 neurons. Neurons 2,4,6 and 8 represent an apple, while neurons 3,5,6 and 9 represent a banana. If 2,4,6,and 8 are active at one time point, we identify an apple. If only neurons 2,4 and 8 fire, we would probably still identify an apple due to activation of the entire network via pattern completion. But the point is a neuron has to fire an action potential in order to convey information. Right?

Most computational models build off this 'all or none' assumption, and they seem to do a decent job in representing some phenomena. But why would it have to be this way? What is so special about this transient fluctuation in membrane potential, and what about it allows images and events to enter our awareness? Is it the opening of voltage-gated ion channels? Release of neurotransmitter? Rapid movement of ions? Do action potentials that originate at the hillock have different effects than those initiated in the dendrites? I cannot wait for the day when we have the technology to begin to address some of these questions. And I think we're close. With techniques like 2-photon imaging and calcium uncaging, we could theoretically "excite" neuronal boutons such that neurotransmitters are released (via Ca2+ binding) without an action potential ever taking place in the cell. Conversely, we could block neurotransmitter release and electrically stimulate cells. Granted, information is almost certainly held within vast networks of cells, so experiments like these on the single-cell level are futile. But enormous progress is being made in identifying neuronal ensembles active during a particular behavior or memory (for example, see this week's J Neurosci article from Dombeck et al). And if we can identify the neural correlates of a particular memory, we might be able to apply techniques similar to those mentioned above to this population. But the question still remains: what the hell is so special about action potentials? And can postsynaptic potentials that fail to reach threshold still convey information at the level of awareness? I also need to mention a wonderful review article by Alcino Silva and colleagues in a recent issue of Science, titled Molecular and Cellular Approaches to Memory Allocation in Neural Circuits. In particular, there was one assertion that thoroughly confused me. In the article, a model is presented for how two or more memories closely associated in time might be stored, such that retrieval of one memory enhances the probability of retrieving the other (see figure). To quote the article, "two memories acquired within minutes of each other may be stored in similar populations of cells and in nearby synapses, thus resulting in strong co-recall. In contrast, two memories acquired within hours of each other may be stored in overlapping cellular populations, but perhaps not in nearby synapses, which would result in weaker co-recall." STOP! What???How does the proximity of synapses (on the same neuron) have anything to do with the likelihood of co-recall??? Based on the binary action potential assumption above, an information signal is based on whether a neuron fires or not. And if a neuron fires, it should have the same effect on all it's afferent connections. Far as I know, activated spines do not send out retrograde signals that potentiate surrounding synapses on an immediate time scale. So, what am I missing??? Seriously, I'm asking you. YOU, person reading this right now. You've read this far, so you must be interested. The only thing I can come up with is that events occurring in close temporal proximity lead to increased probability of potentiating synapses on the same neuron. And if there is large overlap of neurons that make up the networks representing events A and B, then the probability of activating network A will increase the probability of activating network B. But in this scenario the proximity of these synapses should not matter, so long as the synapses reside on the same neuron. WTF???
Comments?Synaptic tagging?Without reading the review, could they not be talking about events after the action potential has fired? When the first memory is triggered by activation of a certain set of synapses, molecular events at these synapses can alter them in some way to modify the probability they will fire next time. If the specificity of these molecular events is not perfect, synapses in close proximity to the activated set, may also get tagged or modified, thus changing their firing probability, which in turn will affect the ability to recall the associated memory. All the synapses are still firing all-or-none (don't worry, the universe didn't just turn upside down!) but events after the initial action potential can influence a local region of dendrite, which will include the synapses of the second memory. This paper from the Svoboda lab talks about how molecular tagging events are sometimes not localized to just the activated synapse but can spread a little way along the dendrite. This may not be what you were getting at Jeremy, but it's the only explanation I could come up with! -Clare
Hmmmmm, still don't see itBloody hell. Just responded via word press, but lost it due to a dang error page. Let's try again. Yeah, I see where you're going with this, and I think it's an excellent explanation of why two events in close temporal proximity (A and B) would be stored in neighboring synapses. But I fail to see how this would affect co-recall of these two memories. In my mind, co-recall is the process where retrieval of memory A increases the probability of activation of memory B, and this takes place on the scale of sub-seconds. However, the passive diffusion of agents that Svoboda discusses takes place on order of seconds, yes? Now, I could see how retrieval of memory A could facilitate retrieval of memory B at some point in the future, but co-recall? Maybe I'm misinterpreting their definition of co-recall (or your response)? But even if the diffusion and influence of these potentiating agents were instantaneous, would that really matter? In this case, activation of memory A might make it easier to independently recall memory B, but it wouldn't activate memory B, and thus no co-recall. I suppose I could find some scenario using reverberating loops or something where this might work, but I don't think that's what the authors had in mind. Something ain't right. Either I'm totally missing something, my base assumptions of how the brain operates are fundamentally flawed, or the review is mistaken. I suspect it's the first. Comment on Qualitative InformationBradley Monakhos 23:16, 9 November 2009 (UTC) Everything in our environment comes to us through waves of energy. When a wave contacts a surface, two piece of information can be coded temporally - Frequency and Amplitude. Coding the frequency and amplitude is enough to transmit qualitative information about a stimulus. In the visual system for example, qualitative information must somehow be transmitted through modulation of neuron firing patterns because of the quick convergence of stimuli information passed from photoreceptors to ganglion cells (see Fig 1). Although, spatial information is stored retinotopically, qualitative information must some how be conveyed by information stored in the frequency of neuronal firing patterns. This is the same for light, sound, touch, pain, etc. --- Dees Noodle Need Sauce I know, you need a source right. Here's a little snip from a researcher at the RIKEN Institute. If you don't know what RIKEN is, it's the MIT of Japan. In fact, many of the faculty at MIT and RIKEN have joint appointments at both institutes. Be sure to check out the RIKEN-MIT Center for Neural Circuit Genetics. Enter Toshihiko Hosoya: "It has been believed that a single neuron usually transmits a single piece of information. However, doesn't that seem wasteful?" says Hosoya. "Information will be transmitted more efficiently if multiple pieces of information are carried in one signal. This also forms the fundamental basis of information processing theory." Therefore Hosoya decided to investigate extensively what information is transmitted by the retinal neurons. He used the neuron that responds to OFF, which 'fires' (generates an electrical signal) when it becomes dark. First, he repeatedly stimulated the retina using an image with changing dark areas, and examined the timing of the firing of the neuron that responds to OFF. It used to be thought that the responses of the retinal neurons involved a wide temporal fluctuation, with the timing of the firing differing between events, even in response to the same stimulation. In recent years, however, it has become evident that firing occurs with high reproducibility in terms of time in response to the same stimulation. Hosoya showed experimentally that the firing events in response to the same stimulation occurred with only a small fluctuation of several thousandths of a second. "This is quite an intriguing feature," says Hosoya. "Because the retinal neurons fire with high reproducibility in response to the same stimulation, it has become easy to analyze what kind of information is conveyed when the neuron fires." The retina neurons that respond to OFF fire more frequently as the image input becomes darker and darker. "It has long been known that the firing frequency changes depending on 'how dark it has become,' or on the amplitude of the intensity change. Extensive examination shows, however, that both the firing frequency and the time interval are quite accurate (Fig. 3). This seems to carry some information." Hosoya theorizes as follows. "The neurons may transmit information on 'how it has become dark' as well as on 'how dark it has become'." It has also been demonstrated that accurate firing patterns are transmitted from the retina to the brain through the optic nerve. Upsetting conventional common sense, it may be shown that a single neuron transmits multiple pieces of information by using an accurate firing pattern.
Commnet on 'Comment on Qualitative Information'Ok, good foundational argument for your rate-encoding system. The conclusion of Hosoya seem quite intuitive to me, so I don't know what they're talking about when they say 'upsetting conventional common sense.' (Maybe I possess uncommon common sense?) It's easy to see how onset of firing encodes when a stimulus is present, while firing rate encodes amplitude. But I find it harder to relate this to internal circuits that code for something like a memory. No, wait, maybe I can. Ok, in 'my' system where each neuron in the circuit encodes a particular aspect of the memory, firing rate could simply encode amplitude of that aspect. For instance, with our black neuron (see discussion below), rate of firing would encode the amplitude of black of the object. This scenario would be interesting in that you'd have neurons belonging to the same memory circuit firing at vastly different rates, each encoding for the amplitude of their respective representation. Ok, so there. Now we have a testable hypothesis. Go prove me wrong :)

Circa 1948 Wilder Penfield suggested that certain aspects of human memory can be stored in descrete brain regions. Penfield, a neurosurgeon specializing in focal epilepsy treatment, developed a technique for removing epileptic tissue while avoiding/minimizing damage to areas involved in patients mental processing. Applying local anasthetic to various brain regions of conscious patients, he determined that areas of the medial temporal lobes seemed to be important for memory. Although this idea was met with controversy, a number of neurosurgeons were inspired by Penfield's work, among them were William Scoville and Brenda Milner. The duo of Scoville an Milner report the extraordanary story of the patient H.M. (His name is Henry Molaison. Only in death will we have our own names since only in death are we no longer part of the effort. In death we become heroes).
If HM ever played guitar, he would have been the only living member of the Forever-27 Club. His tragic accident that lead to the bilateral removal of his medial temporal lobes at the age of 27 would inform the field of neuroscience at a level deserving of a Nobel Prize. First HM showed us that the medial temporal lobe was important for converting short term memories into long term memories. He then showed us that there was various other types of learning and memory that did not include the hippocampus. At 1:00 pm tomorrow (Wednesday, 11.17.2010), Suzanne Corkin, Ph.D. is presenting a special lecture on how HM shaped the science of memory. Do not miss out!

The medial habenular nucleus is a major cholinergic pathway, expressing the choline transporter gene Slc5a7 more densely than any other brain region. The high affinity choline transporter is responsible for taking up choline into the presynaptic terminal of cholinergic neurons, where it can be synthesized into the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Open the tab below to view Slc5a7 expression in the medial Habenula (MH) in the mouse brain. The MH is located just below the hippocampus.

An Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) is a common affinity electrophoresis technique used to study protein-DNA or protein-RNA interactions. This procedure can determine if a protein or mixture of proteins is capable of binding to a given DNA or RNA sequence, and can sometimes indicate if more than one protein molecule is involved in the binding complex. A mobility shift assay is electrophoretic separation of a protein-DNA or protein-RNA mixture on a polyacrylamide or agarose gel for a short period (circa 2 hr). The speed at which different molecules (and combinations thereof) move through the gel is determined by their size and charge, and to a lesser extent, their shape.

The control lane (DNA probe without protein present) will contain a single band corresponding to the unbound DNA or RNA fragment. However, assuming that the protein is capable of binding to the fragment, the lane with protein present will contain another band that represents the larger, less mobile complex of nucleic acid probe bound to protein which is 'shifted' up on the gel (since it has moved more slowly). |

Is Baby #2 On The Way For Beyonce and Jay-Z?
With all the negative headlines lately about these two, I keep hoping for good news for them.
This could be it!
With all the negative headlines lately about these two, I keep hoping for good news for them.
This could be it!
There are some restaurants that I like a lot...but I don't think there are any I LOVE...like a deep troubling obsessive love. That's not true for a few people...and the restaurant they love...is Chipotle
I love and respect Katy Perry on so many levels, and I'm always interested in what she has to say about love.
She doesn't just suffer a breakup and wallow in the pain, but instead she seems to want to learn what she can from the experience and take that with her for next time.
People like that fascinate and inspire me.
I love Craigslist's Missed Connections! Now, I have my very own and I'm determined to make a connection!
Fellas I have to tell you, if I can hear you chewing your food, I'm grossed out! If you're wolfing down your burgers and pizza and slurping and smacking all the while, you might be fun for a night, but I don't think we'll be eating mashed potatoes and gravy together when we're seventy.
Even if there are flowers and candlelight and sweet talk to go along with a romantic meal by the fire, if you chew the chocolate covered strawberries with your mouth open and make smacking noises it's a total mood ruiner.
Should it be? The experts say there are many things that we have to let go in relationships and chew noises are one of them. Help, I will need therapy! What else is on the list of "overlookable habits?"
Last summer when a long-term relationship of mine ended, the breakup process lasted three months.
Crazy I know! End it already!
If you're thinking the relationship is probably flawed, it's probably flawed
It seemed appropriate on Valentine's Day to relate a unique love story. This is Linda's love story in her own words:
If you're feeling lonely this Valentine's Day, you're not alone.
This is the week of love but not all love is kisses and hugs. There are some wack-Os out there who don't understand the fine line between love and obsession.
Well, engagement rings are getting a little cheaper. Sort of.
The average engagement ring cost over $2400 last year, according to a survey by American Express, and this year guys are shelling out $2311 for that rock. Still pricey!

UmmBinat's Note:
My MIL makes this for DH and herself when they have eaten something that upsets their tummies such as bread (gluten intolerance)! I say change the sugar to honey to be much healthier and do avoid gluten next time. I'm not sure how it would taste to omit the sweetener altogether but feel free to do so, this is for your health, taste buds come second. NOTE: Wild oregano leaves & anise seeds are mandatory, the other herb & spice may be used depending what you have on hand. I understand in Arabic wild oregano is called za'atar, not to be confused with the Arabic spice mix also called za'atar. It is not regular oregano either and neither is it thyme although it may be translated from the Arabic to mean wild thyme.
My Private Note
Serves: 2
Units: US | Metric
- fresh water
- wild oregano leaves
- anise seed
- lightly crushed coriander seed (a small amount)
- sage leaf
- sugar or honey
- 1Put freshly drawn water into a tea pot that sits on the stove add the spices/herbs, a small handful makes 2 cups. Steep until slightly golden.

Hook has a whole crew of hardened baddies under his command -- but just to keep things interesting, he decides to win back the Jolly Roger with only William "Wormtail" Smee and Ariel in tow. (And Ariel's only there because of a technicality in the Pirate Code, which evidently has more to it than Parlay.) Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's all too easy for the trio to (barely) fight their way onboard -- where we're introduced to Once's take on Blackbeard, who might more accurately be called Black Soul Patch. He is the Smash Mouth of pirates, only with Jack Sparrow's hair, Adam Lambert's makeup artist, and some admittedly badass moves with a blade.
There are swords; there is fighting. And when Hook manages to get Soul Patch stuck in the gap left by a loose board, there is victory. Well, at least until Ariel comes running up and informs her new pal that Prince Eric is actually nowhere to be found. Where could he be? Soul Patch knows, but he's not telling; in fact, he says, he'll only spill the prince's location if Hook hands over the Jolly Roger for good, thereby proving that his love for an icky, cootie-ridden girl has transformed him into a decent human being.
So of course Hook lets Soul Patch have the ship -- at least for now -- and goes with Ariel to find her blue-eyed number one babe, right? Wrong! Next thing you know, Hook's celebrating Shark Week by putting Soul Patch on the menu. Ariel is understandably peeved. She tells Hook that he's a shellfish selfish, heartless meanie who doesn't even look that good without his Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil, then dives straight into Shark City to search for Eric herself.
The femme fishtale resurfaces -- literally -- in present-day Storybrooke, where we learn that she either lost track of Eric once more or never found him again in the first place. Thankfully, Snow and Charming have the perfect solution: Just take Ariel to Hook, who isn't suffering from memory loss and may be able to help her locate her beau. The pirate lies that he hasn't seen Eric, acting so carefully nonchalant that he's practically sticking his hands in his pockets and whistling a devil-may-care tune.

- " The owner is upgrading the facility. The cafe served excellent food at a reasonable price. There was always plenty of hot water. The lockers had electrical outlets in them which was very convenient for charging phones and other electronics. Laundry service was excellent. All staff were very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable with a thick comforter to insure warmth during the cold nights. I highly recommend this hostel. "

Two years ago, a Phoenix homicide detective asked for help on a case.
Someone had been killed, but police had few clues. "Look for two brothers and a mother whose first name is all we know," the homicide detective said.
So planning and research Detective Ben Vermillion keyed the information into a special program that pools and searches police department databases.
"Within 15 minutes, I had the shooter for his homicide," Vermillion said. "They were listed in some departmental reports and ... (the program) links them together."
Vermillion says he couldn't have done that so quickly without a tool called COPLINK. Named for it's ability to link cops with one another, the program links and compares databases within agencies and shares the information with others to help solve crimes.
"What COPLINK led us to do is take an impossible situation where we have 3 million records and narrow it down to a few departmental reports," Vermillion said.
The Mesa police plan to begin using COPLINK this fall and Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler and Gilbert are scheduled to join shortly afterward.
Mesa approved the nearly $500,000 program April 16. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office already has the program, as do the Phoenix and Tucson police departments.
In Phoenix, detectives used COPLINK to catch the a.m. Rapist and in Washington, D.C., officials used the program in the hunt for the D.C. Sniper. Vermillion said he uses the tool nearly every day to hunt down other serial offenders.
Scottsdale police systems administrator Mike Morrison said COPLINK will help everyone, since criminals can commit a crime in two different cities and live in a third city, making information-gathering slow and time-consuming.
"It's just a good search engine that allows us to (share) those sorts of things," Morrison said.
Tucson police were the first agency in the country to use COPLINK and conducted a handful of studies into it's time-saving benefits, said information services division administrator Jim Wysocki. The department found that COPLINK was equivalent to 100 sworn officers or detectives. In fact, Wysocki said the study's findings were so astounding, that officials conducted another to verify its accuracy.
"To me, I'm thrilled when I get a 15 percent return," Wysocki said, "but to get 1,000 percent return is astounding to us."
The prototype of COPLINK was created by Hsinchun Chen, director of the University of Arizona's Artificial Intelligence Lab and turned into a commercial product by Knowledge Computing Corp. of Tucson, which produces the software, said Bob Griffin, chief executive officer of the company.
"In law enforcement, there are operational systems, databases (and) each of them don't communicate with each other," Griffin said. "We believe you can take that information and bring it into the COPLINK environment, find all the like objects, put them together and have a tactical tool for finding the bad guys."
Griffin said the more databases that are linked to the program, the more powerful the tool will be.
The first commercial license for COPLINK was sold to Tucson police in 2002, Griffin said.
Since COPLINK uses records that already exist, there hasn't been too much criticism of the program. However, some worry that a hacker could gain access to the information or police officers could misuse the information.
"I think it's undeniable that the larger a system gets, the more vulnerable it becomes," said James Dempsey, policy director at the Center for Democracy and Technology headquartered in Washington, D.C.
"It would be appropriate for COPLINK to have a system where not every user has access to every database," he said.
Dempsey said that law enforcement agencies have always communicated with one another and that it would be "foolish not to use technology to enhance modern communication."
However, he said it's important that users of the system are well-trained and that there is good management over who accesses the system.

When businesses' security defences are breached and data is exposed, there are a number of potential negative implications.
Firstly, firms may see their computers infected with viruses, malware or spyware, which affects the performance of their hardware and impacts on the productivity of the workforce.
But security breaches may also see data exposed - and potentially stolen - by malicious third-parties, which can cause significant problems where business continuity is concerned.
The loss of data may make it impossible to carry out certain processes, or lead to the company receiving a hefty fine from the Information Commissioner's Office.
And not only this, it can hit companies hard on the customer side through reputational damage.
If a business falls victim to an online attack which exposes data, the negative publicity can create negative perceptions of the organisation.
Customers may switch their allegiance to a rival firm as a result, leading to a loss of revenue in both the short and long-term.
Minimising the threat
As a result, it always pays for businesses to take all possible security precautions to ensure the integrity of their systems data.
Technology can play an important role - with the use of firewalls, anti-virus software and other network protections helping to identify threats and combat the risks.
But very often, security breaches occur as a result of human error - so it is important for people processes to be considered.
Training employees in IT security best practice can significantly reduce the risks of a breach.
It may not be possible to eliminate this threat altogether - particularly where the malicious acts of individuals are concerned - but firms can put layered defences in place to reduce their exposure.
The use of strong passwords and entry codes is important - this should help ensure outsiders are unable to access PCs and corporate-owned devices.
And where personal devices are being used - such as smartphones and tablets - encrypting data is worthwhile.
This means that should the device be lost or stolen, it should not be accessible to any third-party.
Remote wipe solutions also have a role to play where mobile technology is concerned - these allow data to be deleted remotely in the event a device containing sensitive information goes missing.
Reducing the risks
Hackers are constantly innovating in a bid to find new ways of getting hold of confidential data, such as bank details, consumer information and intellectual property.
This creates challenges for the IT security industry, which needs to keep pace with the criminals - or ideally stay one step ahead in order to protect businesses and consumers.
But a range of solutions exist to help firms protect their systems and data, with regular vendor upgrades available online to keep users up to date and as protected as possible.
By following IT security best practice and ensuring firewalls and anti-virus software are activated and up-to-date, risks can be minimised.
This allows companies to get on with their normal business, meeting the needs of customers and driving revenue.

"This chicken is cooked in the pressure cooker and then put under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp the skin. It is quick and easy, flavorful, and delicious! You can also make a nice sauce with the 'drippings' afterwards."

2 teaspoons olive oil, or as needed
1 yellow onion, sliced into rings
1 carrot, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
1/4 cup vegetable stock
1 (3 1/2) pound whole chicken
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 head garlic, top third sliced off and discarded
4 fresh thyme sprigs, or to taste
1/4 cup Marsala wine
2 tablespoons brown mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or to taste
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
Delicious! Unbelievably easy and quick. Overall, a great recipe! I added a celery stock under the chicken, did not have celery seed and used more garlic than recipe. My chicken was 5 1/2lbs and I cooked it for 25 minutes, next time I'll cook it for 20-22 minutes. Great recipe to try.
I had some home grown chicken that was a little tuff, so I wanted to try a pressure cooker recipe. Usually I shy away from recipes that doesn't have a lot of reviews yet, but I'm glad I didn't on this one. I was more than pleased on how this turned out. I didn't have Marsala wine but I used port wine instead. I also only cooked a half of chicken as well. When I opened the cooker after it was done, it looked so good the way it was I omitted the oven browning process. I also may have over cooked everything just a tad because the onions, carrot and lemon became one as a really awesome sauce that we pour over the juicey chicken meat, loved the taste of the lemon in it! To me this recipe is a winner.

Hey again, so I have another story started, this one is about a teenage girl who is a shapeshifter. Her grandmother, who raised her, is a Jamaican witch. The girl's name is Jinx, because her grandmother has a horrible sense of humor and her shifted form is a black cat. I need names for a young witch girl, I was thinking something out of the ordinary. A name for a male werewolf, once again, something out there and weird. And a name for Jinx's grandmother, something Jamaican. Thanks all, the help on my last post was so appreciated. :grin:

Every day there is hand-wringing over our students falling behind the rest of the world. Fifteen-year-olds in the U.S. trail students in 12 other nations in science and 17 in math, bested by their counterparts not just in Asia but in Finland, Estonia and the Netherlands, too.
The good news is, there are many positive things happening in our public schools. Even so, we've all heard troubling reports of budget cuts, increasing classroom sizes, teaching to the test and reduced access to subjects like art, civics, career and technical education and second languages.
